I spent the last 15 years growing up in Goshen, IN.  Now I am a Goshen College graduate and I'm eager to see what comes next in life, to explore my interests and a bit more of the world.  Coming out of school I find myself rather hesitant to settle on a particular job or location.  I cannot say in exactly what direction I see myself heading, but I have become pretty excited about painting, theater design, and electronic music and plan to follow those interests.  I also like biking, dancing, traveling and not scary movies.  After studying art and literature in college I hope to continue especially with art studies at a studio or academic level in the future.  In the mean time I try to find work as a freelance photographer, house painter, and carpenter. 

In my past experiences with immersion in a new culture I have come out energized and much more intrigued by the greater world experience.  BMAasia is a chance to work my mind and body, and to work with this group to understand and experience the significance of intercultural relationships.
